Ada Crow is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the classical and the contemporary, the analog and the algorithmic. Based in Asturias, Spain, Ada brings a deep-rooted knowledge of art history into every creation, drawing from Surrealism, Dadaism, and Flemish baroque to craft pieces that are visually striking and conceptually rich. Her journey spans over a decade of traditional mediums like professional photography, oil painting, and ballpoint drawing, and more recently, digital and AI-powered art.

Since entering the NFT space in 2021, Ada has exhibited her work on a global stage, including features in HUG 100 Photographers to Watch 2024 and exhibitions at venues like Beeple Studios and NFTNYC. Her art poses existential questions, offering a meditative escape into the intricacies of human emotion, memory, and identity.

With a career that continues to evolve across formats and geographies, Ada sees artificial intelligence not as a threat but as a tool to extend her artistic language. In this conversation, we dive into her inspirations, her creative process, and what it means to make art at the intersection of technology and timelessness.

Her new drop, “Crow Cinematic,” debuts on April 17, 2025, on OpenSea.

OpenSea: “Crow Cinematic” is such an evocative title. Can you explain the meaning behind it?

Ada Crow: I've always been fascinated by the idea of capturing a story in a single moment. Crow Cinematic plays with that concept — not full films, but brief glimpses with cinematic rhythm and aesthetics.

OpenSea: What inspired “Crow Cinematic,” specifically, and how does it build on or depart from your past work? Can you walk us through your creative process?

Ada Crow: The collection was born from my love of film and television and curiosity to see what happens when iconic stories are reinterpreted from a different angle. I often draw inspiration from my visual culture to create art, and this collection is another step in my artistic evolution.

As for the process, it’s a blend of AI to generate the visual foundation and digital editing to refine it, with a lot of meticulous work in Photoshop.

OpenSea: Is there a narrative arc to the collection? Should collectors view the works as standalone moments or scenes from a larger, unfolding story? 

It’s a bit of both. Each clip stands on its own, but they can also be seen as part of a visual culture where everything is connected. Nostalgia and reinterpretation might be the common thread tying them together.

OpenSea: How do you imagine people will engage with the collection?

Ada Crow: It depends on the viewer. Some might feel nostalgia, others might find it funny, and some will see a fresh perspective on something familiar.

And even those who don’t recognize the references can still enjoy it as visual art. In the end, the goal is for each piece to evoke an emotion in the audience.

OpenSea: Did blockchain technology influence how you approached the art in this collection?

Ada Crow: More than in the creation itself, it has influenced how I think about the permanence and distribution of art. I love the idea that these pieces can travel without losing their origin, with collectors becoming part of that journey. It’s like a film that never stops screening.

OpenSea: How do you think about utility or interactivity? Are you interested in things like dynamic NFTs, token-gated experiences, or is the art itself the full expression?

Ada Crow: I love interactivity when it adds something meaningful to the piece, but in this case, the art is the core. These works are meant to be experienced in their pure form, without the need for extras. That said, I’m not closing the door on exploring other possibilities in the future.

OpenSea: How has being part of the NFT community influenced your work, whether through collaborations, feedback loops, or just immersion in the culture?

Ada Crow: It’s been a revolution. I went from a world where digital art was a niche to one where there’s a global community eager to explore, discuss, and collect. That kind of environment pushes you to keep evolving and to experiment without fear.

OpenSea: What do you hope “Crow Cinematic” says about your evolution as an artist in web3? What should collectors expect from the world you’re building next?

Ada Crow: I hope it reflects my obsession with visual storytelling and reinterpretation. And I want collectors to know that this isn’t a final chapter; it’s part of an ongoing journey where I’ll keep exploring new ways to tell stories… even if it’s just in a few seconds.
